Looking at the manual, I tgink this is the issue. sddm-configuration is a
record type that has a field called xorg-configuration. This field expects a
record of type xorg-configuration, but you pass it a keyboard configuration
instead. I think this is what you need to do:
(sddm-configuration
…
(xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout %this-keyboard))))
HTH!
